It Conquered the World was great one. There was many movies like then then. There's some more movies I went to get to while I'm on this row. Here's 1953's The Robe
It stars Victor Mature as Demetrius. The scene where
Richard Burton & Jean Simmons.
Jay Robinson plays a Caesar that was unintentionally hilarious and nuts
Michael Rennie from The Day the Earth Stood Still is here...
and so is Dean Jagger
There's great fights & visuals
Here's the Trailer
The score was wonderfully done Alfred Newman
Next will be the sequel
The Past isn't a Wilderness of Horrors - We Grow Old Because We Stop Playing - DTA - If it's been done in a movie, then most likely it's already been done in Real Life - ALWAYS Watch the Skies - Question Everything, FTW! = Me + Various <-->
Ah, 61's Gorgo. that was such a great Kaiju movie. Gorgo was arguably the one that started the Kaihu craze again because there was a small hiatus. When that came out then starting the next year in 62, Kaiju films would make their return starting with 62's King Kong vs. Godzilla. Once I get going with My Classic Kajiu Topic again (I'm really behind on it) I will spotlight that one. How about that, the Curious Dr. Humpp, that was also something else. The 50s & 60s was truly the time of monsters & epics.
Huh, really I got some more coming up and some may be surpsises Well, here's the sequel called Demetrius and the Gladiators. This was still during the time when Hollywood didn't waste time making sequels as this continues right after where The Robe left off as it shows how it ended and all that.
Victor Mature and Micheal Rennie reprise their roles from the first movie.
Mature was very good. Such a shame how guys like him are hardly spoken about now
Jay Robinson as Caligula is even more insane here. Barry Jones is also.
Susan Hayward is here...
so is Anne Bancroft...
and also appearing is Debra Paget.
A young & brutish Ernest Borgnine is here and so is William Marshall.
This also has great visuals.
The Gladiator scenes are quite good. I love the Tigers
Here's the Trailers
Franz Waxman did the score for this
More is next

Yes, Predator: Badlands. They just revelaed the trailer the other day. I was going to post that My AvPvT Topic but just haven't yet. There's a ton of stuff about this which you may not know but if you loo really close & study the trailer then you may see the crazy things about it. This movie is going to be awesome. The animated movie looks to be good and there's more Alien Earth too. Look for a big update in My Topic about the details soon
OK, well here's one you may not be familiar with but I'm sure you know this cast. This next entry is before Indiana Jones was searching for the Holy Grail aka the Chalice of Christ in 89's The Last Crusade...this epic came out in 1954 and it's called The Silver Chalice
The movie stars PAUL NEWMAN is his DEBUT role
Virginia Mayo is the co-star.
Also in the movie is Pier Angeli.
And a very young Natalie Wood
Jack Palance is really radical here as Simon the Magician in one of his best roles
Here's the Trailer
Here's this great suite by Frans Waxman
Another good one is coming forth

It stars Anthony Quinn as the titled character whom was seen in The King of Kings & The Passion of the Christ. the Mob wanted him free so Jesus could be crusified and Barabbas is haunted by this and goes thru a lot of torture through the film
There's a ton of stuff here including great Gladiator scenes.
Jack Palance is awesome in this one too
Ernest Borgnine is is this one as well
THE SHARON TATE is in a blink and you'll miss here as part of the mob
Here's the Trailer
Here's this great suite by Mario Nascimbene

We saw EdTV in the theater. I remember liking it enough that we bought a used copy of it from Blockbuster during one of their sales though I can't say I ever watched it again. Nor am I really familiar with all those old gladiator films. Just honestly not a genre I ever got into.
